Chinese Proverb

What is the most important thing in life?  Is it money?  Is it family?  Is it kindness?  Is it love?  No one can really say for a fact that any of these things are the most important thing in life, because everyone has their own opinions.  Reading this Chinese Proverb made me think that character is the most important thing in life.  Character encompasses all other aspects of a good person, like integrity, dignity, and honesty.  Character, in my opinion, is the most important thing in life.  You are able to know who you are with character.  You know your morals and values.  Now, character is one thing, but a beautiful character?  A beautiful character can change lives, it can change the world.  That is what this Chinese Proverb is saying.  A beautiful character has the ability to create peace in the world.
